dealer tells me that my bfg 285's are the cause of the vibration. BUT IT WAS DOIN IT WITH THE STOCK 265 MIC'S!! i keep telling them that and thay said "bring it in on the stock tires"

thay "road force" tested my tires and said 3 out of 4 are out of spec. i dont know what that means, but im going to go to the tire place tomarrow to see if thats true or not. what the heck is a road force test?

im so confused, all i know is it was viberating with the stockers on.

anybody know of anybody that has a set of stock tires for cheep? or a set on wheels that i can barrow?

what do i do next, im kinda lost.

I'll sell you a pretty decent set of rims for 200 bucks. Im in Akron. The rims came off my 03. I ran em for a hundred thousand miles, so they've got a couple minor dings, but they still look good.

Here's some info on "Road Force" balancing.

I would ask the dealer to swap a set of wheels & tires off of one of his new trucks onto yours for a test drive and tell him "if the problem goes away,, I will too".

??? aren't these standard tires on the Power Wagons? I know the PW's can disconnect the sway bar, but what else is different? I would find a different dealer IMO.

I am in Columbus and have the stock wheels and tires on my truck - but I am out of town the next 3 weekends, not sure how I could help....

I'm a Canuck too, but found a warmer place to live!

Still too far away to help!

PM me on how much you want for them.

I tryed that, and thay said no. i used to work at this dealership with all these guys, i kinda thought if i bought a truck off of them i would get better service, but, its like thay dont even know me. kinda sad and frustrating.


are thay the '03 stockers? or some aftermarket. and if thay are not bent like out of round i may take them got any pictures you could email me?

It's definately NOT because your tires are 285's. Now you may Have gotten some bad tires, but it doesn't sound like that since it happened w/ your old tires too.
Surely someone near you would swap tires and wheels I'd think. I have Dodge wheels on my CHev right now w/ 265's, but I'm too far away, sorry.
